Cucumbers come in two main varieties – lebanese and continental/telegraph.

Lebanese cucumbers are a sweet, short variety with dark green, thin skin. Its flesh is crisp and pale with tiny seeds. The continental or telegraph cucumber is dark green, long and thin, 30-35cm x 5cm, with a hook at one end.

Preparation:

Rinse under cool water, then slice or chop. Lebanese cucumbers have a thin skin so there’s no need to peel.
